The final Brazilian chapter....
... and generally being lazy around the pool. The hotel was cool and the small resort had a bounty of restaurants and bars to sip a cocktail before staggering to bed. It was a relaxing conclusion to 6 months being on the move!

But I didnīt really get that impression. Sure, not as nice as back home, but not ...
Back to Rio for the last week
... a hole in the wall, so we decided to go to an open-air beach side restaurant/bar with attached disco called "Help." The place was very busy and even had a few hookers standing by so we thought it would be fun to watch the action. After we sat down and ordered our first beer, we observed that there weren't just a few hookers but that every woman at and around the establishment was selling so of course we kept ordering beers and settled ...
